Hi Shakeel,

Both insulin have the same components: 70% human insulin isophane suspension and 30% human insulin injection. The difference is the company that have produced them : Lilly and Biopharm respectively.

So, they are both human insulin. The side effect that you should be aware of is Hypoglycemia. Allergic reaction is a potential side effect but it can rarely occur.

All the best!
